Dallas Fire-Rescue also responded. Police said a preliminary investigation indicates the woman died at the scene, and authorities have not released her name.
Recent incidents along the Singleton corridor
The Singleton corridor has been the site of several violent incidents this year and has become a focus of community safety concerns. For example, FOX 4 reported an earlier convenience-store shooting on Singleton that led to charges in November, and residents have been urging city leaders to reexamine industrial zoning and safety along the stretch. Neighborhood efforts to push for safety and land-use changes were recently chronicled in Hoodline.
